    Good Points: Overall, the camcorder isn't all that bad!


    Bad Points: Bad Points:No software and no "easy" way of transferring any data to my PC. And when asking Panasonic about it, they didn't care and just said "it doesn't come with drivers


    General comments: Very disappointed. I always used to buy Panasonic goods, purely for value for money.

    With the Panasonic NV-GS17 it's impossible to transfer video on your PC. No connection to view it on TV included as well. Everyone complaints about the USB connection not working but Panasonic does not care. I am not going to re-build my comp in order to use their stupid camcorder!!!

    Very disappointing, plan to sell mine and get a different one. Don't buy one, waste of money!

    The Panasonic NV-GS17 is my first digital camcorder. I wanted a very small and light unit that was fit for a novice. The Panasonic unit fits the bill.

It has a great colour screen which rotates by 180 degrees. Controls are easy to use and the functions are useful. There's auto stuff, but you can override this with manual con ...

Recently I bought a DVD recorder. Yeah, you've guessed it, ...

    I have just bought a Panasonic NV-GS17 digital camcorder. It is a pity there was no software or drivers for NV-GS17, and there wasn't a USB cable with it either.

    I went online looking for drivers, and I found a lot of people were having difficulties finding them; so I thought I would leave a review to help.
